    We definately need pictures Sean. Do you have a TPS near you? I just got loads of genuine parts at trade price, big saving over the main dealers.

    Wishbone is off!!! just got to drill out what is left of the bolt.

    Manifold bolts came appart easy, the 2 headers are still on the engine though. a couple are a bit tricky to get to though. The only bolts that sheared was the rear engine mount on the gearbox side and the wishbone bolt. Good luck Sean, plenty of pictures is the way!

    It goes between the linkage arm. I can take a picture of mine if you want? pm me your mobile number I'll send it over.
  7. ChrisL
    Yep, Just been to the garage to check mine and there should be a square threaded nut in between the selector arm

    Can anyone confirm if the front wishbone bush for a VR6 is part number 357-407-182 please?
  12. ChrisL
    Thanks Kip, I'll have a look
  13. ChrisL
    Thanks Kip, I will definately check before powder coating. Dont suppose the bush part number is 357-407-182 is it?
  14. ChrisL
    hmmmmm not sure how easy it will be. better then doing it on the car though i suppose.
  15. ChrisL
    Hopefully! once I get this stripped its powder coating and straight into the rebuild.
  16. ChrisL
    That picture of the bolt looks exactly like mine!!
  17. ChrisL
    Yep thinking about it, it was the passenger side. The drivers side seems just as tight so that is likely to go too. Had an impact gun on it and didnt shift it.

    I dont have £1500 James and I dont need anything for the back of the car. I do need everything in that first picture though. Am going to ring the TPS this week.
  19. ChrisL
    Thanks Daren, I did think I would have to cut it through the back part. Reckon the other one is going to do the same too. Will take it to work I think.
  20. ChrisL
    Will have to do it tomorrow. Its the one at the front of the subframe that holds the front part of the bottom are.
  21. ChrisL
    If you decide to split, in the next week or so I will need to buy: Ball Joints & lock plates, Drop links, bottom arm bushes ARB bushes & metal plate, Track rod ends, All the bolts that hold the subframe in place, Bolts that hold the bottom arm to subframe, Chris
  22. ChrisL
    Will do.
  23. ChrisL
    Stripping the front subframe and I've managed to snap the horizontal bolt that holds the bottom arm. Trouble is its snapped so the bottom arm wont come off. Has anyone done this before and hows best to remove it please?
  24. ChrisL
    I got it split at a place local to me but they tried to do me over when I picked it up so will build it back up myself. There is a company we use at work who supply bearings so might see if they do one.
  25. ChrisL
    Thay can be refurbished, this is how mine stands at the moment: Going to get the case vapor blasted then decide whether to paint it or leave it. The copper on the stator cleans up well with tomato sauce!
